I am new to PFA and still going through the course. I was wondering if any veteran PFA members would like to share their success story and talk about how they have been consistently profitable using this methodology. I tend to stay far, far away from forums as they are usually jam packed with naysayers and lazy individuals who view trading as an impossible career where people cannot achieve success. However this forum is a breath of fresh air, having already seen some comments on older posts of people being profitable.

I would really like some motivation whilst i'm going through the course to see how previous students have gotten along an what i can aspire to become, and go beyond that.

To the PFA staff: if a post like this breaks any rules, please do not hesitate to remove it.

Hello,
I am a new member and just started into my second year with PFA this month. The first 6 months I was busy with my regular business and trying to learn this new venture (I have never traded before). So with my old school learning method it was 6 months in before I started making progress and hitting the simulator hard. After 6 months of that and being in the live room as much as I could as well as PFA getting on the phone with me a few times to iron a few things out Live!!! (thank goodness he did that) I am a week and a half into live trading. The mind set that Will has instilled in my thought process has me only making the high probability set ups under my own will through the best training out there. Ninja Trader and everyone else had me prepared for major defeat coming out of the gate but that could not be more wrong, I use a stop loss and so far I have broken even plus commission and had one trade that put me ahead 18% and one just yesterday that increased my account 40% in a few hours. Remember I am only 7 full trading days in as I am writing this.

Even though theses small intra day trades are not what i am looking for its nice to be able to have the knowledge to make them while waiting for the real money makers this great system and coach teaches you to look for, find and execute. If you are reading this and wondering if its worth the investment (STOP) lol, This is the way to do this business if you want to learn the right way and be profitable very soon. How soon? that's up to you and your learning curve and the ability to listen to whats being taught and believing in it. When I started here I thought I would be a intra-day trader because the other guys I was getting ready to go with kept saying that's the only way to learn, they said you must learn to intra-day trade consistently "before" you can even think about swing trading never mind position trading. That is anything but the truth and i'm sooooooo glad that I had the chance to learn from on of the very best before I went down that long dark road that was being pitched to me.

I started as an annual member and I am looking forward to the lifetime membership it is worth much more then the ticket price. :)

Wow, where do I begin. How do I condense 10 years into a few sentences? Let's give it a try.

I started attempting to learn how to trade back in January 2010 about 6 months before my 1st daughter was born through a "trading school" that really was only a group of people that were selling a "system" with indicators that told you when to sell and when to buy. What was funny was that the individuals didn't even trade their own system. Needless to say, it didn't work out. I lost in 1 week 1200 dollars from a $2000 account I had just funded. Then, I met someone from that school that was a technical trader that showed me fibonacci and trends. For 2 years I spent my time trying to figure out what she was teaching me. It didn't help much when she wouldn't show up to our meetings online for weeks and months at a time, leaving me more confused than when I started. Then I found a "banking method" strategy community and through that group I found someone that traded supply n demand.

A year after trying to figure out how to trade SD I found PFA. I joined PFA in April/May 2014. I saw what true supply and demand was in the market. It took me many years to get this right. I first had to unlearn what I had learned throughout the years. I don't trade with Ninja trader so, I don't have any indicators that Will has now that make learning a breeze. I learned with naked charts on the MT4 platform. Fast forward through many years of wins, losses, frustrations followed by tears and many 1 on 1 lessons from Will. Here we are now in 2019. I started a few months back to track my trades through a third party site and now the account I'm using for the tracking is up 73.7% in 84 days.

The charts just make sense to me now. I remember many things throughout the years that Will would tell us and didn't make sense at the time. Now ALL of it makes sense. Too bad it's taken me almost 5 years for it to sink in.

Long story short I have spent well more than 2 very expensive MBAs to learn this skill...
I did not need to, I could have learned Will's stuff for a fraction of the cost, been patient and saved a lot of stress and bad energy.
My wife and kids have pushed me and believed in me, without that support it would have been impossible.
Down days would have emotionally rocked me way longer, if my 13-year-old daughter and 11-year-old son would not have told me daily you can do this.
My wife had many days of non-stop crying, pleading with me to go get a day job, because I was losing money every day, lots of money.
My father would come by every Friday to review with me my thoughts for each trade and help me work through the emotions of trading. The psychology of trading is real...
We must build our mental muscle...

I spent 17 months trading all day...it was not healthy. Not just the losses but staring at the computer all day being by yourself did not help my brain.
I have never suffered from depression, I feel for those that do, but did get very uncomfortable in my skin.

I had to recommit myself when I found Pure Financial...I did go work with all the energy I had each day, turned the sports and other shows off at night.
Study until bed time, side not to turning the TV off, I give my kids so much time each day.

I have a dear friend that asked me to come work with him in the afternoons each day and that is the best part of this, i get to stay connected to other adults.
I have helped his business grow a ton, because of my experience in owning multiple businesses, I get paid as a consultant to help him think bigger.
Very therapeutic for me.

I now have a cut off each day to move away from my computer...I am done trading by 10am my time each day.
Because I do NOT have to take a trade each day to pay for the life I want for my kids, and can be patient, I have learned how to increase my win rate to now above 85%

I have referred a few friends to Will so far, I give all the same basic story. Learn from my very costly mistakes, start slow, push yourself every day to learn something new and know that you can never learn it all, so keep learning every day. Those of my friends that do not put the need for $ first, will overtime win, if you trade because you need the money to live on, for me it did not work at first...could I do it now yes, I make more money each day then I need for my bills by a factor of 8x on average. But I plan to keep my afternoon job at this point forever, people that are close to me think I am crazy, but for me my afternoon job really keeps me connected to the world, and it is fun.

Please do not take any of this as me being braggadocios, I come from a small town and have some education, and I promise if I can do it, with time and energy you can do it.

It will be tough, really tough sometimes, get a great support team around you that help when you are feeling pain...then go to work!

Will I am using a very specific 25 week plan to slowly grow my contract size per trade...I am on week 9 of that plan. Your system has taught me to hold trades longer so my system for daily and weekly income is far below what you have taught me. But I still use the contract maximums in my plan. This helps me with the emotional part of trading, we have to get used to the income going up and down emotionally in trading. I will share it with people if they ask you for my email, you can give it to them.

Thanks again everyone, lets work our guts out together and help other with part of the $$$ we earn.

I Joined PFA form April-2018 and started using S/D methodology on June-2018. After the bootcamp (Mid-July) I finally understand how to use the method to trade. Today, I already gained my capital over 100% by using what Will taught me from June-18.
Just keep learning the trading course, live chat room/recordind and bootcamp. you could be one of the consistent winner in the financial market. If you still don't get it, learn again and ask what you are confusing.
I used to trade HSI future back in 2013 to 2015, just like most of retail trader, I lost a lot of money because don't understand how the financial market works and try to look for a short cut to success trading.
Will is not teaching us the trading setup by using S/D Levels but how the financial markets operate that is the key to become a consistent winner.

Hello -
Im relatively new here too. Member since I think around 09/2017. I had been aware of S&D method for about a yr before my join date. I knew this was the path I had unknowingly been searching for, ever since I began this very painful and rewarding journey as a trader. I'll just share my story as short as I can make it as opposed to merely telling you how consistently profitable this method is and how it can be. Because as Ive read and learned myself, trading is a very personal journey. What may work for one person, the same may crush someone else. As for offering some motivation for you - well, I've been trading since mid 2012. I began w Investools, and selling premium on weekly options. I didnt even know what futures were. I accidentally found a training course on futures when looking for a site related to options and such. The lack of overnight exposure one can have trading futures had me at "hi".... so to speak. Obviously my current style is day trading. Some day I may migrate to larger hold times. But am not ready to.
My path has been 5yrs long as of the end of 2017. The yrs between 2013-2016 I have each yr, gone through a good training program - I thought at the time - paid good money for them, and they all took about a yr of combined learning, sim and live trading before I would come to realize I was still missing something. Needless to say - these years were all losing years for me. It takes a toll on a person. But like 50 Cent has said - get rich or die tryin. I changed it a bit as being rich is not why am still here, becoming a better trader everyday, becoming a fulltime trader, and having it support me and my lifestyle is why I am still throwing the proverbial mud against the wall. My saying to myself is and was, become a fulltime trader or die tryin. The reasons why its so important to me is another topic all to itself. But it has alot to do with an insanely burning desire to write my own ticket in life. I mean look around at any other career as far as I see them - youre always at risk of being laid off. It seems the higher you are on the ladder too, the bigger target you are when the bean counters start trimming the fat - or as they say "reorganizing". Give me a break.
You may have taken note I didnt include 2017 as of yet. Well, thats because I decided to take that yr to unlearn the stuff I needed to cleanse my brain piece of that has nothing to do w S&D trading. Complicated stuff like footprint charting, market profiling (not volume but price and time), complex pivot levels, etc... all of this needed to go. I also wanted to take a good amount of time to give myself a fighting and fair chance to learn this method from going through the course - not once, but a plethora of times, to SIM trading for months, even when I felt I was ready for LIVE trading, I still waited. Basically starting over. Because I knew I couldnt handle another year of not being profitable. My mental starting point for live trading was the beginning of this yr. Which, is already proving to be a green year for me. Not by a little, but in terms of forecasting the rest of the year as long as I remain grounded and a student (with emphasis on remaining a STUDENT), this yr will be more than impressive as trading success applies to my world. I will say, if you can take what this trader here has gone through in terms of other trading methodologies, and doing his best at applying the process(es) learned; PFA's method is by far the easiest and most reliable to the point of - well almost - having an unfair advantage over the other traders who do not trade this method. I dont want you to misinterpret the word 'easy'. Because as we all know, its not easy. I just chose that word because when compared to the other curriculum and instructors Ive had - it is easy. Thats how effective Will presents the material. He makes it easy to understand. Ive had my years of getting beat up and having my money taken by a smarter trader than me. I believe, without doubt, those days are over. Dont get me wrong, there will still absolutely be losing days - maybe even weeks. But now its time for me to take some money.
The feeling of progress, not being afraid to look at my account balance, the sense of accomplishment is immense. And it's just the beginning because this method is still new to me (in terms of a life of trading to come). I said trading is a very personal journey at the beginning of this story, which I see now is not short. lol. Ive been known to ramble. My friends tend to tell me they have to go to the restroom or grab another drink when i say I have a story to tell. Anyways, to end this, for me this is THE LAST training I know without a shred of doubt that I will need to take in terms of a trading method. This program has filled in the missing blank that NO OTHER trader or instructor/ mentor has been able to do. I say mentor because thats exactly what Will naturally is, a mentor. He 1000% cares about all of us here and our successes. There is nothing to really to compare this whole world of PFA to as far as Im concerned. Im sure some of the more senior members (if they are still reading - haha) will agree w me about Will.
Best of luck to you here.
Proceed.

I'm a PFA member since 2013 and you can read my personal story written in 2016 below. you can also search for my historical analysis posts in this forum.

My Story: How I wanted to be a day trader and I became an investor

I remember the day that I decided to start my trading career or shall I say investing career. It was 3 years
ago and I knew from the beginning that it’s not going to be easy because I knew nothing about the
financial markets.
During the first year of studying, I read a lot of books and took 3 online courses about day trading. None
of this has helped me to achieve my goal and actually did exactly the opposite. Instead of understand
the market I got confused, Instead of making money I lost a lot of money. During that year I spent about
10K$ on education and I lost 10K$ on my trades. It was so frustrating that I started to think I took the
wrong way in my life.
Because I’m an optimist and always see the glass as half full and I truly believe that if you want
something you have to go the get it I did not give up and accidentally found Pure Financial Academy.
I recall my first conversation with Will which was very nice and he convinced me to join his program as
my last chance to make it as a day trader. From that point, my life has been changed.
Pure Financial Academy will teach you for sure how to trade but the philosophy behind the method will
help to see the large picture and start thinking more like an investor. I worked very hard for over a year
and I attended the live classroom day after day. I watched the recordings day and night until I could hear
Will even when I was sleeping. Will was always there to help and put me on the right path to success.
PFA Method is amazing and I have never seen anything like this. I learned not only how to find the best
opportunities but most important WHY and WHEN to look for them.
Today, three years later I still amazed from the incredible knowledge I learned in Pure Financial
Academy. In Pure Financial Academy you can learn not only day trading but also swing and long term
trading. I chose to go with the swing and long term trading for myself and the results are amazing.
I came to learn how to day trade but I became a successful investor in the financial markets.
I truly hope that my story will give you the motivation, the ambition and the strength to do what you
believe in. “Nothing is impossible unless you believe it is”

Hi ghaziali226,
thank you for your post & kind words, they're much appreciated!
i don't believe any rule is being broken by you asking your question, however i do want to say that if any responses come in with anything regarding money, we do not have any affiliation with what the user is writing and should not be seen as any form of promotion or guarantee of making money. this is very important because we do not ever want to promote "making money". it is our focus to educate on our methodology and give you complete belief by showing you without a shadow of a doubt through forward analysis.

the reason for this is; we are not a CTA or registered advisor of any sort so we are prohibited from any means of "advice". also because we would NEVER promote this as a money making scheme. the cold hard truth is that some do make money while others do not, but this is solely due to either not using the methodology correctly OR letting emotions make our decisions, in my opinion.

currently users are not notified of these new posts so it will only be seen by users who are scrolling through the posts as you have. i hope this helps and i truly appreciate your participation and fully understand it is coming from a good place!!!
